Molly Ratto, 18 Black, is currently working with The Princess Project in an attempt to get used prom dresses to young girls who could not otherwise afford them. She is using the NorCal Facility as a drop off/pick up station. Looks for signs at the facility to find out where you can donate your old dresses. Collections are being taken anytime between now and Jan 31st. Good luck with the project Molly, let us know how it goes!!! In the 4th grade, Katie Hattabaugh, went to an assembly about the negative effects of making chocolate on the rainforest. She was so inspired by this assembly that she sent letter to all the stores that sold Hersey’s in Moraga. Because of her efforts, OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware) stopped selling the candy bars in their stores and gave her a $25 gift certificate. Way to make a difference Katie! Alex Franceschi was awarded a four year academic scholarship at the University of Oregon in Eugene.  She begins her freshman year in September of 2009.  She plans on majoring in Human Physiology.  Her NorCal career began on the 13 Black team under the coaching of Keegan Cook and finished on the 18's team with Sam Crosson. Tess Gellerman, 2005, just got back from the Dominican Republic where she was working with Esperanza International to help people in the community gets loans from local banks to start up their own businesses. The mission of Esperanza International is to free children and their families from poverty through initiatives that generate income, education, and health restoring self-worth and dignity to those who have lost hope.
